(TRAVPR.COM) ND - September 15th, 2014 - Tet “Vietnam Lunar New Year” is the occasion for Vietnamese to express their respect and remembrance for their ancestors as well as welcoming the New Year with their beloved family members. Moreover, in the past, Tet was essential as it provided one of few long breaks during the agricultural year, which was held between the harvesting of the crops and the sowing of the next ones. To make it easier, one can imagine Tet as a combination of Christmas and New Year: every family will get together to have big meals, decorate Tet trees and eat Tet food but to welcome the New Year instead of a religious cause.

Other local delicacies are pickled vegetables, candied lotus seeds and sugared fruits.
